Severe weather potential May 2 - 4

Per the SPC, there were at least 2 fatalities yesterday.

One was caused by the tornado in Douglasville, GA that caused a tree to fall on top of someone, and the other was a semi-truck driver that was caught on the tornado that crossed I-35 just outside of Waxahachie, TX.
 
I hope this line can really solidify in future runs ... I mean there’s heating of the day out east of it I don’t see why it doesn’t mature more .. even sun looks to get out and about east of it .. don’t really know why is seems to stay multi cellular and semi weak
Hrrr mixes dews down into the upper 50s/near 60. If that's the case you can forget it but the HRRR has a tendency to get over mixy
 
Some of the local birmingham news stations are putting us under a moderate risk for tornadoes lol. I'm more worried about the possible derecho later

Yeah, the tornado risk has dropped a good bit since the Euro completely caved yesterday. Still a risk for tornadoes with last nights Euro run, but much more unidirectional from 850mb to 500mb. Any supercells will probably grow upscale.

The funny part is the Euro is still printing out supercells. It must have decided to try to outdo the supercell machine that is the HRRR.

Lol, I'm just going to go with the idea of qcls tornadoes and a main line. Spc put a 45 risk for wind damage so I'm going to hedge on that. Might be a tornado or two. But after yesterday's performance I wouldn't put the euro a step above the HRRR lol
 
Why did the SPC remove the slight risk for WNC/upstate the hrrr is consistent at bringing strong winds/hailcores with the strongest multicells

Yeah, makes zero sense. I didn't expect to wake up to the sun shining. There is just way too much fuel out there this morning for us not to get multiple rounds of storms some of which are going to strong/svr.
 
Flooding might be a huge concern this evening as areas that have already received 2-8 inches of rain might see another 3-6 inches. Areas in KY and TN have seen 5-8 inches within last 6 hours, and the atmosphere looks to reload during peak day-time heating before a second round tonight. I think some places in Alabama could see an area of 5-7" of rain given models consistently illustrate training storms 6+ hours.

I agree... I’ve had a feeling since Sunday that today would be a bigger deal for the upstate and WNC including CLT metro. The sun is out and heating things up quick and the air just has that feel to it. I was suprised things got as active here yesterday after seeing overcast skies all morning and today there a lot fuel to set things off.
 
Still pretty broad though. But if I'm correct last few days it's showed a outflow boundary from a decaying mcs moving through MS into alabama so it may be near that. Currently working so I can't really look at what alls going on lol.

Absolutely beautiful structure.

Great look for maintaining the supercell per mesoanalysis. Shear is a little low, but great turning with height.

Agreed. Brad P's latest VBLOG alluded to this as well. Their inhouse model shows a pretty stout QLCS moving through late afternoon. And he even said he wouldn't be surprised to see the slight risk expand back towards are area.
